In my research project on deforestation I use the indigenous and protected lands in the legal Amazon from TerraBrasilis:

I need the year that each of these was established. Any ideas where to get it?

In our article this week my colleague @_HannahRitchie is looking at "the omnivore's dilemma".

Here is the article: https://t.co/6K83EpwQIr

Inspecting the attention scores allows to better understand what features are important for recognizing each driver.

It also shows that the model implicitly learns to ignore cloudy images (scores equal to 0). No need for any cloud masking or filtering! ☔️

Why are we losing tropical forests? 🌴

Together with @devistuia, @MarcCoru, @JanDirkWegner1, and others, we used satellite images to map the drivers of forest loss across tropics

To do this, we developed a deep learning model that classifies drivers from time series of Sentinel-2 images.

While making a prediction, it also assigns an attention score to each image of the time series, indicating their relative importance.

@mohitanand Hi Mohit, I'm not at AGU but this sounds really cool and I would like to learn more. Is there a recording or a publication I can check out?

Thank you!

[Jan Pišl @JanPisl]

@RicardoDalagnol not necessarily with NIFCI but yes also mapping all kinds of problems in tropical forests :)

[Jan Pišl @JanPisl]

@RicardoDalagnol Thanks Ricardo. It seems we are working on similar topics :) Good luck with the annotations and looking forward to your large-scale maps!

[Jan Pišl @JanPisl]

@sarameghanbeery hi Sara, i had some issues joining. is there a recording going to be made available? thank you!

[Jan Pišl @JanPisl]

@CTrees_org Whether this is associated with a change in land use may only become apparent much later (e.g., if forest is cut down and then let to regrow, there is no land use change but I believe the alerts would detect it)

[Jan Pišl @JanPisl]

@CTrees_org Hi, can you please explain how you detect land use change? If I understand correctly, the radar alerts detect change in land *cover* (there is forest -> there is no forest).
